Meet Kitty Cowell

Im Kitty, I’m a fashion stylist and lifestyle blogger. I collect mostly traditional tattoos and I like hard core/ punk rock music. I’m vegan and and like to spread positivity.

What inspires your ‘off the wall’ fashion sense?

Hmmm I’m inspired by so many things, places, cultures etc. I’m a big amalgamation and juxtaposition of these things. For example I’m 50% tomboy and 50% Barbie girl!

When did you get your first tattoo and what inspired you?

I waited till I was 18 as I wanted to prove it was a mature decision and not something I would regret. I got a star to mark leaving school and starting my journey to becoming a star of some kind! I think punk rockers inspired me haha.

What tattoos have you got planned for the future? Any more to come?

Tuna, I don’t rush what I get too much. I like to sit on ideas and take my time. Next up there’s something with a space ship involved…

What are the meanings behind each of your favourite tattoos?

Everything has some kind of meaning… Umm I have a hamsa kind of hand on my inner left arm. It was to represent a changing point in my life. The eye represents being able to see clearly into the future (where previously my site was hazy). The hand represents putting my hands up to mistakes in the past and owning my mistakes.

Who is your go-to tattoo artist and why do you respect him or her?

I currently get tattooed a lot by Darren Quinn at The Circle. We like the same style of artwork and collect the same style of tattoos so his work is ideal. He’s my friend so it’s nice to get tattooed and hang out. He’s great at what he does and the studio is a very highly respected space so ticks all the boxes really!

Favourite Electric Ink product and why?

The Daily Moisturiser is my favourite just because I like to keep my skin moist especially my tattoos. So it’s nice to have something specifically for tattooed skin.

We noticed you like Metal music, favourite band?

Metallica! Haha I’m simple… I don’t get people that don’t like Metallica.

Huge trainer fan too? Let’s say you had to wear one pair for the rest of time… What would they be?

Lord that’s hard. I never wear the same shoes for more than like 2 days!!

I love Vans slip ons, air max 1 infra reds and …air max 97.

I guess the AM1 infra as it’s where my love all started.
